Not that long ago Psychgrad and "R" were having visitors for a few days. I was asked what an appropriate gift would be for them. Who knows?? But ... rather than ask them which is probably what I should have done in the first place, I said "get them a panini press, I'm sure they'd love it". This was not a "my bad" situation but rather one of those moments that I probably should have thought about whether or not they had the space to store another appliance. What I thought about was how simple and yummy it would be to create new flavours rather easily and open up a new sandwich world.

To me, the beauty is really in the flavour - choosing great combinations, putting them on wonderful bread and letting the magic create. Ultimately, don't they all pretty much look alike? I can't usually tell an Italian panini from a Cuban sandwich in appearance, but taste, well, that's a whole other story.

"R"'s Roast Chicken and Spinach Panini looks absolutely "to die for". I'm really not sorry I suggested this gift since I am planning a trip in the not to distant future and would be more than happy to have "R" demo several different sandwiches for my eating pleasure.

Since we refer to family members, here's a key to clarify who's who

R - Psychgrad's hubby. Is the cook responsible for many of the recipes but usually does not post himself (unless it is to complain about our food obsession or share a dish that he loves -- usually poutine).

E- Practicing her skills as ruler of the world (or her little brother, K).

K - Cool little bro -- biding his time until he's big enough to take down E.
